A reading from “The Martian”

“Every human being has a basic instict: to help each other out. If a hiker
gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train
crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city,
people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so
fundamentally human that it’s found in every culture without exception.
Yes, there are assholes who just don’t care, but they’re massively outnumbered
by the people who do.”
